Drummond's Skullcap (Scutellaria drummondii var. edwardsiana) plant in its native habitat which is being savaged by land development. This sidewalk leads to a recently built school in the fastest growing school district in the nation due to the huge number of new homes that have been completed. Too bad that building codes in my area do not contain a provision for wildscape areas being set aside to conserve flora and fauna.
